BPMN4SGA: A BPMN Extension for Smart Glasses Applications to enable Process Visualisations

Abstract

New mobile technologies such as smart glasses cannot be described adequately with standard process modelling languages. This leads to insufficient process documentation, hindering a correct integration of these technologies in business processes. In this paper, we focus explicitly on smart glasses-based processes. We analyse the domain of smart glasses-based processes and develop a smart glasses-based process ontology. Furthermore, we investigate smart glasses-based process concepts and BPMN concepts semantically. Thereby, extension requirements for a new BPMN extension are derived in the domain of smart glasses, using the method for domain-specific development of BPMN extensions. In addition, we include model-driven software development concepts. Finally, we present a part of the graphical syntax with an exemplary smart glasses-based process and the connection with the model-driven architecture.
